京扇子　舞扇　焼煤骨　鮎＋ゴマ竹　扇子立て6寸

This Kyoto folding fan (mai-ōgi) features a graceful hand-painted design that captures the lively spirit of ayu, or sweetfish, a symbol of summer in Japan. On one side, a single ayu leaps energetically above flowing water, expressing freshness and vitality. On the reverse, three ayu swim gracefully together, evoking harmony and the natural rhythm of rivers in midsummer. The fan’s soft blue background suggests the coolness of water, enhancing the seasonal charm and making it a perfect accessory for both dance and display. Crafted with traditional Kyoto techniques, the fan combines refined artistry with durability, supported by sturdy wooden ribs. Whether used in performances, as a decorative accent, or as a meaningful gift, this fan embodies the beauty of Japanese seasonal motifs. It transforms the simple act of opening a fan into a poetic gesture, celebrating both craftsmanship and the fleeting elegance of nature.
